Beads of Rain

The beads of rain on the screen above the air conditioner are spaced out like dots on dice.

The rain stopped but now it continues to fall.

I cheer it on like a losing football team I don't know why.

I just don't want the weather to be perfect today.

I want it to rain.

A single car honks, like an afterthought.

I hear birds, where in the hell are they in all this water?

The thunder carries on, somewhat in the distance now.

Fashion Face

A woman walked towards me

I was jealous of her curls

I looked away

rather snobbishly

with a straight face

Oh, her curls!

Another woman walked towards me

with a cool hat

large pants that flowed around her

she was a stylist with a sense of humor

and her hat was super cool striped light tan with a dark green felt brim

I looked at her with a grin and smile

she smiled back

she knew she was cool.

See how different this all is?

Thunder on

Thunder sweet sky, thunder on and on.

Thunder and carry me away.

Rain pour down.

Scare away all I hide from.

Wash away fear.

Water the plants of mercy.

Take all that I fake, all that I've undone.

Take all whom I've mattered to.

Take all whom have mattered to me.

Spin it all into one giant rain drop.

Land on my heart.
